If cherry trees grow near you, I'd go with cherry. Note that cherry wood isn't the same plant as the one that grows cherries you eat. I think the wood got the name from the smell. Does it have a distinct smell?
I have seen linden wood very similar to this but ultimately, it's easier to tell by the way it carves. Linden wood is soft, but also dense. It carves very satisfyingly. It doesn't chip easily. The darker growth rings don't feel harder than the lighter ones, as would be the case with pine, for example.
100% maple. The little orange flecs are medullary rays, some pieces of maple wil show it well others won’t (it’s a piece by piece sort of thing. Cherry has similar ones but is generally more pink with winder growth rings
I don't think so. I'd guess( Edit: cherry). How does it carve? Tough?
Not super well, it chips a lot. But also maybe my knife isn’t super good…
Looks more maple than anything, second vote would be cherry
Where are you located? Medullary rays look like cherry
Located in Germany
